[smitty77]

Box stock TW (TFS-51400004), TF stage 1 cam, R-lower, New 3-piece upper, TF SN 95 inlet adapter, bbk 70mm, stock 94 block assembly.

Requires after-market fuel rails. I've got the aeromotive kit.


Santa dropped it off early

 

[warmdye]

super sweet

 

[Jerry Leaming]

I'm intrested in that exact upper.....
You say it need new fuel rails? What are the problems with the stock units?
How did you mount the elbow on the upper? I couldn't see any way to bolt the front lower bolt on.
Who much did you pay and where did you get it from?
And last question what kind of hood do you use and is there any clearance issues.
Thanks

The stock regulator hits the casting. The manifold was designed for billet rails. Adapter elbow goes on with nuts & studs, and a stubby wrench. 3" cowl, about 3/4" clearance in the front w/ stock engine mounts. corral.net has a nice spread on this.

when i looked at it on corral.net i didnt see spots for vac lines...where did you hook those up? or dose it have places in the upper for vac lines??

your also beating around the bush on how exactly you got your fingers on it this early? haha....i take it your not going to say where you got it...

also...i thought this upper was suppose to be a box style upper...which is why im interested in it for my stroker motor

 

[Jerry Leaming]

Trick flow said I could get one from summit racing......
Of coarse I didn't have a part number to give them so summit couldn't find anything. Anybody have a part number for this unit?

Plenum volume and port area maximized for 347-393. There is about 6" of runner. So putting it on a stock engine, with stock heads, wouldn't use this intake to its potential.

Looks great! I might hold off getting the RPM II untill I can get some numbers on this manifold.

 

[Jerry Leaming]

Davidf a RPM II is not even the same catagory as the new trick flow upper and R lower. This intake is designed for serious airflow with little consideration for low end torque. If I didnt have my 393 stroker engine(or something similiar) I wouldnt even consider this intake.....IMO

 

[Jerry Leaming]

Smitty77 what is the over all height of the intake?
I'm refer to only the upper unit from the bottom of the aluminum adapter plate to the top of the intake. I might have some clearance issues that I need to address before my purchase.

they are 600 at summit. Wont ship till 12/19

 

[TurboSN95]

smitty, any chance you can get me a close up shot of the front of the driver's side rail? Right near the distributor. I'm wondering how close it is, cause I had an intake that I couldn't fit a normal rail in there and had to get a rail that was closed on that end. Thanks in advance!

 

[Rick 91GT]

Looks cool, but I think that is way too much manifold for that combo...

 

[smitty77]

About 7.5 Inches

 

[smitty77]

Its tight, had to clearance the cap a little

 

[TurboSN95]

i dont even see a fitting on the end of the rail... do you run stock lines/fittings? can you use a spacer between the intake and the rail to move it outwards?

Dan you could convert over to the early style disti cap(the conversion people do to run those dual tunnel ram Cartech intakes) in order to get a lot of clearance, though that conversion kit I think is more than just buying a set of Pro-M rails and those would solve the problem as well since they angle the drivers side rail for more clearance around the cap. Most intakes will not let you keep a outlet on the drivers side(some people make it work but it is very tight when they do), your Spyder intake is probably one of the few exceptions.

i would have gotten the small cap on my dfi distributor but i thought the wires had to be male instead of female... my old cap adapter had female holes and you needed wires from like a 1950 car.. ugg
